PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Eriku Landstrimma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lager Assassin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Assassin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: yes. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Lager Assassin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
